Compare 1577 edition: 1 Moreouer, it was further decréed against them, Tho. Walsi. that they and euerie of them should lose and forfeit all those castels, lordships, manors, lands, possessions, rents, seruices, liberties and reuenues, whatsoeuer had beene giuen to them, at or since the last parle|ment, belonging aforetime to any of those persons whom they had appealed, and all other their castels, manors, lordships, lands, possessions, rents, seruices, liberties, and reuenues whatsoeuer, which they held of the late kings gift, the daie of the arrest of the said duke of Glocester, or at any time after, should also re|maine in the kings disposition from thencefoorth, and all letters patents and charters, which they or any of them had of the same names, castels, manors, lord|ships, lands, possessions, and liberties, should be sur|rendred vp into the chancerie, there to be cancelled. Diuerse other things were enacted in this parle|ment, to the preiudice of those high estates, to satisfie mens minds that were sore displeased with their doo|ings in the late kings daies, as now it manifestlie appéered. For after it was vnderstood that they should be no further punished than as before is mentioned,The hatred which the cõ|mons had cõ|mitted against the appellãts. great murmuring rose among the people against the king, the archbishop of Canturburie, the earle of Northumberland, and other of the councell, for sa|uing the liues of men whom the commons reputed most wicked, and not worthie in anie wise to liue. But the king thought it best, rather with courtesie to reconcile them, than by cutting them off by death, to procure the hatred of their freends and alies, which were manie, and of no small power.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After that the foresaid iudgement was declared with protestation by sir William Thirning iustice,The earle of Salisburie his request. the earle of Salisburie came and made request, that he might haue his protestation entered against the lord Morlie, which lord Morlie rising vp from his seat, said, that so he might not haue; bicause in his first answer he made no protestation, and therefore he was past it now. The earle praied day of aduisement, but the lord Morlie praied that he might lose his ad|uantage, sith he had not entered sufficient plee a|gainst him. Then sir Matthew Gournie sitting vn|derneath the king said to the earle of Salisburie,Sir Mathew Gournie. that Forsomuch as at the first day in your answers, ye made no protestation at all, none is entered of re|cord, and so you are past that aduantage: and there|fore asked him if he would saie any other thing. Then the earle desired that he might put in mainprise,The earle of Salisburie mainprised. which was granted: and so the earle of Kent, sir Rafe Ferrers, sir Iohn Roch, & sir Iohn Draiton knights, mainprised the said earle bodie for bodie. For the lord Morlie all the lords and barons offred to vndertake, and to be suerties for him; but yet foure of them had their names entered, that is to saie,The lord Morlie main|prised. the lords Wil|loughbie, Beauchampe, Scales, and Berkelie: they had day till the fridaie after to make their libell.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After this came the lord Fitzwater, and praied to haue day and place to arreigne his appeale against the earle of Rutland.The lord Fitzwalter. The king said he would send for the duke of Norffolke to returne home, and then vpon his returne he said he would proceed in that matter. Manie statutes were established in this par|lement, as well concerning the whole bodie of the EEBO page image 514 common-wealth (as by the booke thereof imprinted may appeare) as also concerning diuerse priuate per|sons then presentlie liuing, which partlie we haue touched, and partlie for doubt to be ouer-tedious, we doo omit. But this among other is not to be forgotten that the archbishop of Canturburie was not onelie restored to his former dignitie,The archb. of Cantur|burie resto|red to his sée. being remooued from it by king Richard, who had procured one Roger Walden to be placed therein (as before ye haue heard) but also the said Walden was established bi|shop of London, wherewith he séemed well content.
